Pseudo-ceramide surfactant matrix: SymriseRecent Research Landscape

Microbial instability and poor skin feel increase formulation failure rates, which are mitigated by engineering specific alkanediol and fatty acid ester ratios. This control lever stabilizes antimicrobial efficacy while simultaneously modifying the sensory profile of topical emulsions.

What technical problems is Symrise addressing in Pseudo-ceramide surfactant matrix?

Skin barrier dysfunction

(5)evidences

Poor tactile feedback and undesirable skin feel limit consumer acceptance of lipid-based formulations. Improving sensory profiles ensures better user compliance and product performance.

Antimicrobial induced skin irritation

(3)evidences

Standard antimicrobial agents often fail to provide adequate product protection or skin safety at low concentrations. Enhancing potency through boosting agents prevents microbial contamination and degradation in topical formulations.

Microbial degradation of topical formulations

(2)evidences

Microbial contamination and proliferation in topical formulations lead to product degradation and safety risks. Enhancing efficacy ensures product stability and consumer protection without increasing toxicological load.
